Education + hype for the long-game.
Support for eating disorder recovery, chronic illness, and (re)building a sustainable relationship with movement.
This space is for you if…
You’re looking for support in the messy middle – the gray areas that don’t always have clear answers.
Including:
• building or rebuilding your relationship with movement
• embodiment and body trust
• eating disorder recovery
• chronic illness and chronic pain
• the intersections among these
If you’re here, you’re probably tired of searching for someone who understands the complexity of living in a body that is healing, adapting, and changing.
This space is for people who want to be met where they are, while also receiving thoughtful support, education, encouragement, and a healthy dose of sass along the way.
Hey, I’m Sarah – I’m glad you’re here!
Coach, consultant, podcast host, speaker, plant mom, human design manifestor, and mountain lover who lives in the mountains of New Hampshire.
I’m a Certified Personal Trainer and Eating Disorder Recovery Coach with a degree in Psychology (Neuroscience focus!).
With nearly a decade of coaching experience and being a human over a decade in remission from an eating disorder who manages endometriosis – my work is rooted in a long-game approach to health, recovery, and movement.
Because what ultimately matters most is what is sustainable for you.
Ways We Can Work Together
For Individuals
Personalized movement support that works with your body – not against it.
Programming designed to meet you where you are, paired with education so you feel empowered and grounded in your approach.
This work is for individuals who are:
• (re)building a relationship with movement and curious about mindset and embodiment
• looking for structure without rigidity and truly enjoying movement
• managing chronic illness or conditions like endometriosis and navigating movement with symptoms
• in a stable place in eating disorder recovery wanting to integrate a movement routine
Support for the nonlinear and often complex middle spaces of recovery and health.
These sessions focus on navigating one or more of the following core areas:
• eating disorder recovery
• chronic illness or chronic pain
• endometriosis
• body image and identity
For Professionals
Thoughtful consulting for professionals navigating complex client work.
This space is for clinicians, trainers, coaches, and health professionals who want support with:
• recovery-informed movement approaches
• navigating chronic illness in the recovery process
• body-neutral and non-diet approach to training and coaching
• impact that endometriosis and chronic illness can have on training
My Philosophy
When working with clients my priority is creating a safe and non-judgmental space.
This is the starting point.
From there, we work together (as a dynamic duo) to explore what tools, support, and strategies will help you move forward.
Because recovery, health, and movement are rarely linear, and no one should have to navigate these paths alone.

Working with Sarah has been an eye opening experience. I didn’t play sports growing up and wasn’t exposed to hiking big mountains or climbing until college. Working out was something my mom did from a place of body dysmorphia and shame, and my dad “hated the gym because of the gym bros.” I started strength training a year before working with Sarah and I found myself falling into an unhealthy relationship with the gym where I spent hours there, and didn’t fuel my body enough. Upon connecting with Sarah I felt like I was immediately able to drop all of the baggage that I carried with me, and just focus on me in that moment. I was able to learn new ways of being and relating to movement and strength.
I continually experience nervous system flare ups from PTSD and my menstrual cycle. Sarah has not only graciously held space for me to express what I’m experiencing, but adapted my programming to slowly expand what my nervous system is capable of handling from a place of safety and care. Her programming has allowed me to sustainably do my physically laborious job as a massage therapist, and to approach overuse injuries from a place of curiosity and direction, instead of alarm. I strongly recommend working with Sarah, and often suggest her to my clients due to her approachable, thoughtful, and inclusive perspective in the industry.

I began working with Sarah at the recommendation of my physical therapist following a difficult recovery from ACL surgery. Nothing about my recovery was routine, and I was struggling to feel like my body was my own. As a healthcare provider, it was important to me to work with a trainer who had a strong background in health sciences, and could talk through different parts of recovery with me beyond just providing me with exercises. Training with Sarah became one of my favorite parts of my week and while the results were subtle at first, I came to the realization when I went on a very difficult hiking trip that my leg was no longer holding me back. I felt like I had my body back, and I attribute a huge part of that to Sarah. She encouraged me through every part of my journey, challenged me and pushed me, and quickly became my friend. If you’re on the fence about working with Sarah, take the plunge. She’s everything you are looking for and more.

Working with Sarah is a blast. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about helping her clients build strength training into their lives in ways that are sustainable, science-based, functional, and engaging. Her focus on proper form and playing the long game is so important, and has helped me reframe my own mentality towards all of the activities that I do. In our sessions, she was able to strike a balance between being fun and flexible while also holding me accountable and helping me to push myself in a healthy way. Her plans are efficient and effective and helped me get strong enough to set and achieve some big goals.

I began working with Sarah after I completed yet another stint in physical therapy due to my latest in a series of chronic overuse injuries. Prior to moving to New Hampshire four years ago, I religiously did strength training twice a week with a trainer, which kept me largely injury free through my first two years living and playing hard in all the seasons of the North Country. But my lapse in consistent strength training (brought on largely by lack of accessible training resources/gyms) eventually caught up with me, and the fun stuff I was doing in the backcountry began bringing me more injury than enjoyment. Sarah has been an invaluable part of my journey back to strength, which has had incredible benefit on my ability to work and play in the outdoors. Sarah gives me the accountability I need while pacing my progress in a way my body can handle. She has helped me be patient with my body while working through chronic issues exacerbated by a summer leading hikes, and it is because of this sensibility that I have been able to remain active and continue to gain strength despite these issues. Sarah is an amazing resource to have in the Mt. Washington Valley, and I am so grateful to have found her!

I started working with Sarah months ago. At that time, I was at the middle of my health journey as well as dealing with some pretty significant health issues. Sarah worked with me on a weekly basis creating a strength training program to support my body where it was as well as helping to build it up. She really understands and supports each individual as their own person. There were many weeks where I had to step away from any strenuous activities to help my body heal and Sarah supported me along the way. She reminded me that it was ok to rest and to listen to my body when needed. Her knowledge and holistic approach to strength training was exactly what I needed. It is so refreshing to work with someone who truly wants you to achieve your goals and to do it in a safe and sustainable way.
